i was wondering how to talk between computers in msdos on winxp. They teacher said he used to let students do it till it got out of hand and then he said if anyone does it now they will b kicked out of the class. I just wanted to know how to do it

No, it is not installed on 98. NT/2K/XP only. But if you are on one of those OS's then you can msg people no problem. Assuming messenger (no, not msn messenger) is turned on, which it is by default, then you can pop a window up right in the middle of someone's screen. unreal and SilentRage posted how to use it above.

I know of the command net send but I didnt know that you could send it to everyone on the network.When I tried: net send * (message), it only sent it to my domain (mshome), is there a way I can send it to all domains. The dos program did say the correct syntax for the command but i dont think i got it right.Any help would be appreciated.

I was wondering if it is possilbe to send a net message to people that are not on your tcp/ip network but over the internet using net send, providing you know their ip address? I can get net send to work on my own comptuer, but when i tried replacing the name of my computer with my ip address it says the message alias cannot be found on the network. Any help ywould be appriciated.

I set up something to log connection attempts on my home computer and would attempt to connect from friends houses really quickly, that way when I went home I would netsend them messages and they would get freaked out or pissed off because it will knock you out of a video game since the net sent message goes to the front window...
